A court yesterday reinstated Wilson Sossion as Kenya National Union of Teachers (Knut) secretary general even as a rival group detailed why it had kicked him out.

Labour Court judge Hellen Wasilwa temporarily suspended Mr Sossion’s suspension until an application he filed yesterday challenging his removal last week by Knut’s National Executive Committee is determined.
